Hi BPersWe are looking to do a significant remodel of our primary residence  (a 1400 sqft addition plus remodeling of most of the house) but are having difficulty finding a GC that uses cost-plus rather than fixed pricing. 

They are siblings and file taxes separately.Joint Tenant 'A' has lived in the property for 9 years and claims as their primary residence for tax purposes.Joint Tenant 'B' lives elsewhere and makes no claim for tax purposes against the property and never has.Question:When they sell the property, can Joint Tenant 'B' do a 1031 exchange with their half of the sale proceeds?

I need to do all of this in two weeks that's why going for a traditional personal loan won't work?

Saeid the VA Home Loan is meant to be used on your primary home of residence.

I yanked out the oil and put in an on demand combi propane boiler for DHW and hydronic in floor radiant heat in my primary residence.  

That always sets buyers on the back foot3) New inventory is coming along at a faster pace especially new home construction Along the same lines I have spoken to a few people who were on the sidelines, and they are now buying new primary homes given this drop in pricesThe price drops in isolation does not bother me.

Is this for a primary residence or investment property?

@James SchindlerAre you mailing investors or are these primary house owners?

This has been OK'ed by the IRS (in 2012).In your situation, in which you want to use the sales proceeds to buy another primary residence, there's a little more to this in order to structure it correctly.

I just noticed that the rental license registration form requests a property manager be designated if the primary owner doesn't live or work within a 20 mile radius.
